Films

Starting in the late 1930s, Douglass Crockwell created a series of short abstract animated films. He experimented with various animation techniques such as adding and removing non-drying paint on glass frame-by-frame, squeezing paint between two sheets of glass, and using thin slices of melted wax. Created over a 9 year period, the different films were combined together for presentation named “Glens Falls Sequence”. The films were left intentionally silent.

Below are a small sample of some still images from the films - it will cost approximately $15,000 to get digital copies of the movies.
